Description: There are nearly one million snus consumers in Sweden and 400,000 of them use General snus. General is a snus that stands for discreet elegance and uncompromising quality, with deep roots in the many hundreds of years of Swedish snus traditions. When the Swedish Tobacco Monopoly was established in 1915, and took over all snus production in the country, there were 103 different brands – most of which were produced by small, local companies. A few years later, the number of brands had been reduced to 17. Several are still on the market. General is one of them. Despite its name, General has never had any connection with generals. General snus was the producer’s designation for a “general” snus that was sold without a proprietary brand. The flavor of general snus could vary a great deal, since the blend was adjusted to the availability of tobacco and other ingredients. Eventually, the ingredients were standardized, even for the general snus. But the name lived on. In Gothenburg, which quickly became the capital city Swedish snus, several snus producers sold a general snus brand. The ingredients used by Swedish Match today are basically the same as the secret recipe that was acquired by the Swedish Tobacco Monopoly from a local producer in Gothenburg back in 1915. Swedish Match has developed General into a classic brand that stands on historical grounds, while also offering values that are attractive in today’s price-conscious society.
